This was my dream dress. I knew I wanted something sophisticated and classic that showed off my body- and this dress did it. It looks very expensive in person (as it should). The material (warm ivory duchess satin) is amazing. There is no polyester in this dress, even underneath. The peek-a-boo chantilly lace is a beautiful detail. The structure of this dress is what sold me. It looks like a piece of art. I wore a thong (no corset needed) because there is some light boning in the dress.
Included in the price is my custom made, warm ivory, raw cut, finger tip length, circular veil ($250). My seamstress designed it to compliment the dress (hitting above the ruffles). The circular veil allowed me to have a blusher for the ceremony, and then have a tiered look in the back when pulled behind (see picture).
I hope another bride wears it and loves it as much as I do! Please feel free to ask any questions. *The photos are of me in the actual dress. Pictures by Kelsey Combe (www.kelseycombe.com).
